"When we need a pub that has zero respect for our circadian rhythm we go to The George Tavern. Like a lot of the world’s famed party animals, this Grade II-listed tavern-venue hybrid in Shadwell has its own Wikipedia page because Geoffrey Chaucer wrote about it, Nick Cave has played here, and most notably, we lost a Benefit eyeliner in the bathroom circa 2am a couple of years back. There are gigs almost every night of the week and its post-midnight weekend hours have rescued many a tipsy Londoner from a sad Simmons fate. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Heidi Lauth Beasley
